As a small business owner am I required to offer medical benefits to my employees?

There is no law that requires a WA employer of any size to offer medical coverage to its employees. However, if the employer does offer medical coverage, it must offer the benefit in a nondiscriminatory manner. For example, the employer cannot offer the benefit to only males and not females.

Certain federal laws may also have be be complied with.

You should review the specific facts with your attorney.
